the end of exclusivity.
Nice idea. Hope it happens. Not optimistic.
And I know the America's Cup isn't exactly a sympathy earner, but I'm staring down the barrel of my first ever Sky sub. Don't wanna. Ain't gonna. It's just not that important.
So stupid, because I'd gladly part with a few buck just to get the stream through the AC app. But the whole rigmarole of some dick coming and landing me with an STB? Forget it.
It's like the Olympics all over again.

I just can’t take TVNZ seriously as a provider of any kind of public service. It’s a commercial broadcaster owned by the government.
Whatever value TVNZ has, it’s commercial, not civic.
So perhaps the debate on whether to keep it or not could be held solely on commercial terms, not civic.
The civic need for quality media is just as urgent - and unmet - regardless who owns TVNZ.

Inneresting to see some of the roots of FL's infatuation with mainstream culture.

Speaker: Fleeing Syria for the…, in reply to
were it to ever come to pass that this type of misanthropy be excusable because someone built something, then we might as well ...
I don't think anyone was excusing anything. Jobs is an easy example of an immigrant story which went well, at least for the migrant, and for many others. If he's a *cough* shit-weasel or not is really beside the point. Or are you saying that Steve Jobs is a good reason for countries to block Syrian refugees?
Because that would be weird.

shit-weasel
I have nothing to add to that. Definitely. Weasels are an imported pest, devouring our natural resources and - by extension - our cultural and economic points of difference. And you couldn't really get more 2016 than that.
And, while shit-weasel is a gender neutral term, it is far from species neutral. We can join in the whole my-species-is-better-than-your-species rhetoric that has dominated global politics this year, yet from a position of infallible moral safety.
Fuck off, shit-weasels! Damn, that felt good. Thanks Emma.

Well, good fucking job.
Yup. Sup? Schmuck.
And yet, I missed something. This personage who's been profiteering by misrepresenting misreported standards whilst also sitting in some position of influence over said standards: may we know its name?

You can't fix education by fixing global capitalism. The problem is user-pays education. That's fixable.
Even though the cause of it is now the mayor of Auckland.
